Re: [sshmenu] Can't install sshmenu

[Andrew D. <ade...@gm...>]

I always forget about middle click. Probably because I find clicking a 
mouse wheel awkward at best. It would be good if I could reconfigure 
gnome-terminal to make button 2 paste and the middle button to bring up 
the menu. I paste far more often than I use that menu...

Please, Lord, let me prove that winning the lottery won't spoil me.

Re: [sshmenu] Can't install sshmenu

[Grant M. <gr...@mc...>]

I did look at one Gnome3 extension that offered a drop-down menu for SSH
connections (and other connections).  I think it might have been this
one:

  https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/45/connection-manager/

The comments on that page suggest it stopped working a while a go and
might be abandoned, but the code might be a useful starting point.

If I understand your text selection issue correctly, this is what works
for me:

 1. Highlight text in gnome-terminal (or other app) using the mouse
 2. Use middle click to paste (possibly in another window)

On my desktop system, the middle click is achieved but pressing down on
the scroll wheel.

On other systems, such as some laptops, which have a left and a right
button, you can configure an X setting to emulate the middle button by
pressing left and right simultaneously.

On my HP laptop the touch pad has no buttons but can be clicked.  I have
customised the X settings to define tap regions to trigger left, right
and middle clicks.

Re: [sshmenu] Can't install sshmenu

[Andrew D. <ade...@gm...>]

Is that applets like in screenlets? Those things are always so buggy. I 
hate Unity and Gnome3's not really to my liking though I should play 
with it more. I like compiz and all the whiz bangy flying windows and 
transparencies... Never tried XFCE.

Do you know of anything else that will allow you to manage many 
terminals in an organized fashion? As a sysadmin of sorts with often 
lots of machine to manage I like having them on a menu so I can arrange 
and categorize them so I can find machines quickly.

I'm not much of a Ruby guy but I grew up in a compiler language lab so 
languages are sorta my thing. I haven't done any panel extensions but I 
have done some Javascript. If you could point me to some examples 
perhaps I could port this. Would you suggest I go to Gnome3 and target that?

Oh and another thing, if you might happen to know - do you know of any 
way to change gnome-terminal such that merely selecting text makes it so 
that you can paste it into another application? I mean I don't like 
having to right click and select copy nor do I like to do Ctrl-Shift-C 
all the time. I want it to be just put in the cutbuffer as soon as text 
selection stops.

Thanks.

Re: [sshmenu] Can't install sshmenu

[Grant M. <gr...@mc...>]

Sorry, SSHMenu is pretty much abandonware at this point.

The main problem with trying to run SSHMenu on a modern desktop is that
neither Unity nor Gnome3 really support applets any more.  For a while I
was running XFCE and managed to run the standalone version of SSHMenu in
the panel using the capture applet.  I have since moved to Gnome3 -
which I quite like, but the panel extensions are all Javascript-based so
the existing SSHMenu Ruby code isn't compatible.

You may be able to make the existing code work in standalone mode, but
you'd need to check out the code from the repo (rather than install from
OS packages) and probably tweak a few things to work with the latest
Ruby-GTK libraries.

Grant

[sshmenu] installing sshmenu-gnome on debian wheezy with aptitude

[vinz b. <vin...@ms...>]

Hi All,





I used sshmenu since several years now on my old ubuntu box. (and it's 
very usefull for me^^)





As I need to make a new work station, I am now on a brand new debian 
wheezy installation.





I have followed this page to install it : 
http://sshmenu.sourceforge.net/download/deb_repo.html





First, importing the gpg keys was really hard because I had timeout 
error, BUT one time it was working (magic^^)





Now, if I try to install sshmenu-gnome (I need it), I have the following 
error :





aptitude update


....


aptitude install sshmenu-gnome


The following NEW packages will be installed:


  sshmenu-gnome{b}


0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.


Need to get 9714 B of archives. After unpacking 115 kB will be used.


The following packages have unmet dependencies:


 sshmenu-gnome : Depends: libgnome2-ruby which is a virtual package.


                 Depends: libpanel-applet2-ruby which is a virtual package.


                 Depends: libgconf2-ruby which is a virtual package.


The following actions will resolve these dependencies:





     Keep the following packages at their current version:


1)     sshmenu-gnome [Not Installed]











Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] n





*** No more solutions available ***








Effectively the 3 ruby package are not found when I "aptitude search" 
them....(same pb with apg-get)

Re: [sshmenu] sshmenu and Linux Mint 15

[Grant M. <gr...@mc...>]

Hi Marcio

I still use SSHMenu every day (multiple times an hour) but sad to say,
the project is fairly close to dead.

Both GNOME3 and Unity desktops removed support for applets.  And even if
you stick with GNOME2, the Ruby-GTK folk have abandoned the Ruby binding
for the Gnome Applet library and removed it from their distribution I
think they also removed the GConf binding as well - which is the cause
of the specific error you're seeing.

The standalone 'sshmenu' program should still work as an independent
program with its own tiny window.  By default it will launch xterms but
you can hack it to use gnome-terminal or whatever else you want (see the
"SSHMenu Hackers Guide").

I now run an XFCE desktop and use the 'embed' plugin to capture a
standalone menu and present it in the panel as an applet.

The git repo for SSHMenu now includes an executable called
'bin/sshmenu-xfce' which launches gnome-terminal windows by default. I
don't think this tool is tied to XFCE in any way and it should actually
run on any desktop.

  http://sourceforge.net/p/sshmenu/git/ci/master/tree/

The only reason sshmenu-gnome was using the (now defunct) gconf library
was to get a list of the user's gnome-terminal profiles to present in a
drop-down menu.  The sshmenu-xfce program achieves the same aim by
shelling out to the 'gconftool' command.  

You didn't mention which desktop you're running.  I know that there is a
Gnome3 extension (written in Javascript I guess) that approximates the
function of SSHMenu.  I think there's also a Python tool that does a
similar thing but uses an 'AppIndicator' in the system tray.  There was
also a KDE applet to do the same thing.

Regards
Grant

[Marcio M. <mar...@a1...>]

Greetings,

Hope this project is not dead! It is a huge productivity tool without 
similar alternative. I am trying to install/build/run sshmenu-gnome on a 
fresh Linux Mint 15. When I try to install via apt I get this:

(...)
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  sshmenu-gnome : Depende: libgnome2-ruby which is a virtual package.

                  Depende: libgconf2-ruby which is a virtual package.
                  Depende: gnome-terminal but it is not going to be 
installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

      Keep the following packages at their current version:

No luck. So downloaded source, make'd, cp'd according to manual

More than that -- it has new functionality, too. It's possible
to pass environment variables directly to the constructed command,
allowing e.g. for sending a LC_ALL different from the native one
to the remote system etc. etc.

Thanks a lot again, Stefano, great job.

Hi all,

I have released a first version of Connection Manager for Gnome 3.

It is based on sshmenu software of Grant McLean and rewritten as python 
+ shell extensions for Gnome 3.2 desktop.

It is in a very early state, so all comments are welcome.

This is the url: https://github.com/sciancio/connectionmanager

I'm with Grant on some confusion surrounding Gnome 3.  While I am running it - I find Gnome Shell to be distasteful (default of Fedora it seems), so I choose to run Gnome Panel (+ compiz).  With that you're going to have two camps of people who would want SSHMenu to work nicely within their choice.

I think that there is no future for applet in Gnome 3. The future would 
be extensions.

I'm not clear at all on what the future of applets is for GNOME 3.  I'm
still on GNOME 2 for that reason.

[sshmenu] Gnome 3

[Stefano <hj...@li...>]

Hi all,

with Fedora 15/Gnome 3 I've lost SSHMenu applet which I use intensively.

Any plans to migrate sshmenu-gnome-applet to sshmenu-gnome-extension?

Thanks,

[sshmenu] a project idea... help needed!

[Matthew B. <ma...@by...>]

Hey guys... I've posted this to the fedora project list and sent it
directly to red hat but it seems they don't take on this kind of
custom programming.. I was recommended on getting on this list and
asking you guys. Anyways I'll just paste the stuff I sent them. Thanks
in advance!



"Hey guys... I've got a project idea I proposed to Red Hat directly and
Brendan Conoboy told me that they don't deal with this sort of thing..
what I need is a nice little program I'm willing to pay for or give to
open source or both.

The basics.. you have an icon in the notification area of gnome or in
the system menu.. click on the icon then you have a list of your hosts
or groups or whatever, once you click on any one of the hosts or
groups, you're prompted to choose the action you want to perform on
the host or group. All the actions are simple templates with
parameters so they're all open and modifiable. You can add more hosts
or remove hosts, etc.

I need something like this bad because my shell scripts are now in the
hundreds and I'd rather be able to quickly do things to groups with my
desktop.

Now i just need to figure out if i have to pay someone to make it or
if i can find somewhere that interest in the project will get it off
the ground.

I did a little mock-up and put it up here.
http://www.byrdits.com/files/ap.svg


Thanks in advance. And like I said, I'm willing to pay for this and
give the project to open source. I'm not loaded by my company needs
this so I need to pony up and do it. If anything I'll beg my customers
and the OSS supporters for some donations to help recoup some costs or
write it off on my taxes :)"

Sounds like you're running sshmenu rather than sshmenu-gnome or
sshmenu_applet.

[sshmenu] Open all as tabs

[Bryant L. <mai...@gm...>]

Hello,

I am running Ubuntu 11.04 and installed the ssh menu from apt.  SSHMenu 
3.18.

When I installed the Arch Linux package I had the ability to choose a 
profile and open all in tabs.  Neither of these options are available in 
the version I have installed, do they have to be compiled in manually?

When you get that prompt and click 'Close', does the connection work
with agent support?  Or do you get prompted to enter your password?

If you get prompted to enter a password, then that suggests there's a
problem with the way your GNOME session is being started.  Perhaps the
GNOME panels and associated applets are being launched before the agent
is being launched?

On the other hand, if you do manage to connect successfully without
being prompted to enter a password then you might as well comment out
all calls to the add_key method.  The add_key method really dates back
to the old days with the vanilla OpenSSH agent before the GNOME Seahorse
key manager existed.

An alternative workaround would be to follow the Hacker's Guide to
define your own add_key method that does nothing.

Grant

[sshmenu] Applet cannot find SSH_AUTH_SOCK

[Grzegorz S. <gst...@gm...>]

Hello,

I'm using gnome-sshmenu-applet 3.18 from Fedora 14 repos, and recently
I'm getting the "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK is not set. Is the ssh-agent running?"
error when trying to connect to places. The agent process is running
and the environment variable is actually set: I can use SSH with
forwarding without problems "by hand" (calling ssh from a terminal),
but it looks that the program cannot access ENV['SSH_AUTH_SOCK'] in
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/sshmenu.rb -- when I try things like
alert() on the whole ENV array, the variable is not there, even though
I can print using "puts ENV['SSH_AUTH_SOCK']" from an external test
script without problems. Recently some Ruby packages have been updated
(like ruby-glib2, ruby-gtk2, as well as ruby itself and ruby-libs) and
I think the updates coincide with the problem. Has anyone else seen
this on Fedora?

GS

[sshmenu] Global keyboard shortcuts in Gnome?

[Damir S. <dam...@gm...>]

Hello,

is there a possibility to implement some sort of configurable global
shortcut to access SSHMenu - menu and entry box? Ie. to have one shortcut
which will open SSH connections menu (same as left click) and another one
which will focus entry box.

Thanks!

[sshmenu] New article on bcvi

[Grant M. <gr...@mc...>]

Hi All

I've just put up a new article on the SSHMenu web site to coincide with
the 3.0 release of BCVI.  If you want know what BCVI is, why you would
use it and how it integrates with SSHMenu, this article should answer
your questions:

  http://sshmenu.sourceforge.net/articles/bcvi/
